Claimant: Social Media


Claim: Biden’s $42.45 billion BEAD broadband program “has connected no one to the internet.”


Rating: MOSTLY TRUE


Explanation: Snopes verified that as of November 2025, the BEAD program had not yet connected any households to broadband service. However, projects were underway and expected to begin delivering connections the following year. The claim is accurate in describing present results but omits the program’s long implementation timeline.
